In our review of the new expansion we said: “The original Monster Hunter Rise is an absolutely fantastic game, so for this expansion to be just more would have been fine, but Sunbreak feels like it earns its price tag and then some. “The barometer of good Monster Hunter content is if you want to run the same fights over and over to deck out your character in the entrails of the most horrific flying beast you’ve ever seen, and after only a few hours with Sunbreak, we could feel the addiction creeping back. “Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is an excellent expansion that will please those Hunters desperate for something new, just make sure you’re prepared, or you’ll quickly be rather sick of the sight of a group of Palicos hauling your lifeless body up the road.” Post a comment Related VGC Reviews Review Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is an excellent expansion to one of the series best games Related VGC Content Capcom has confirmed the line-up for its Tokyo Game Show online presentation1 month ago Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak’ s first update adds new monsters and end-game challenges2 months ago Popular Now on VGC1 Harley Quinn voice actor criticises Chris Pratt Mario casting ‘ It should be Charles’ 2 Phil Spencer could be teasing Xbox s game streaming device in a new office photo3 Interview How PlatinumGames is betting on Nintendo expertise to shape its future4 Modern Warfare 2 will seemingly require a phone number like Overwatch 25 Platinum thinks hiring of Nintendo veteran can take the companies relationship to the next level More Video Game News7 Halo Infinite’ s campaign co-op will let every player make progressInsiders will be able to test co-op and mission replay features in July3 months ago7 Comments1 US PlayStation shipments were reportedly up 400% last monthPS5 supply appears to be increasing as Christmas approaches1 hour ago1 Comment Overwatch 2 servers down for some as Blizzard removes two heroes temporarilyThe game's rocky launch has caused much fan frustration2 hours ago Skate 4 ‘ pre-pre-pre-alpha’ footage shown off and playtesting announcedPlayers can sign-up now, if they can access EA's site3 months agoBy commenting on this article you agree to adhere to VGC’s community guidelines.
